Song lyrics[verse 1] Baby mine, don't you cry Baby mine, dry your eyes Rest your head close to my heart Never to part Baby of mine [verse 2] Little one when you play Don't you mind what you say Let those eyes sparkle and shine Never a tear Baby of mine [verse 3] From your head, down to your toes ([chorus] baby mine) You're so sweet, goodness knows ([chorus] baby mine) You are so precious to me ([chorus] precious to me) ([chorus] baby of mine) Baby of mine Baby of mine ([chorus] baby mine) [additional verse] If they knew sweet little you They'd end up loving you too All those same people who scold you What they'd give just for The right to hold you. |

NotesJoe Grant and Dick Huemer changed Dumbo's mother's name from "Mother Ella" to "Mrs. Jumbo" as a reference to the famed Barnum & Bailey circus pachyderm. The song is included in Dumbo Movie Songs Final negative cost of Dumbo was $813,000 (making it the least expensive of all Disney's animated features), and it grossed over $2.5 million in its original release. More than the original grosses of Pinocchio (1940) and Fantasia (1940) combined. While the film won an Academy Award for Best Scoring of a Musical Picture, its key song "Baby Mine" failed to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Watch songs from movie original soundtrack |
